Consumers are taking advantage of resale in the fashion industry as a way to practice sustainability. By reselling clothes, merchandise is often able to retain its value after the initial retail sale. Ecologie, a resale and vintage store in Kennesaw, is a popular location for customers to shop for quality and unique clothing pieces at a reasonable price. 

The resale industry contributes to the growing demand for sustainability. Customers remain eco-conscious as they buy pre-owned clothing to reduce the amount of merchandise circulating in stores, as well as the amount of clothing that goes to waste.
